Ever hear of “Kekich’s Credos – 100 Rules to Live By”? I don’t recall exactly where I first learned of them, but they’re well worth looking at when you get the chance.
In 1978, Dave Kekich was a man at the top of his game – entrepreneur, weight-lifter, runner – but a gym accident left him paralyzed from the neck down and confined to a wheelchair.
But he didn’t let adversity hold him back. In 1999 he founded the Maximum Life Foundation whose goal is to extend the quantity and quality of life.
Here’s just a few of his “100 Rules to Live By.”
Rule 1. Constantly strive to increase order and discipline in your life. Discipline usually means doing the opposite of what you feel like doing.
Rule 11. Working for someone else gives you little or no chance to make a fortune. By owning your own business, you only have to be good to become wealthy.
Rule 22. Don’t be preoccupied with things over which you have no control.
Rule 26. Review the basics of your profession at least once a year.
Rule 73. The best way to get started is to get started. Do it now… and work every project to its conclusion with single-minded concentration.
Rule 82. There is no such thing as a good idea unless it is utilized.
And finally my favorite:
Rule 85. Persistence is the sure path to success. Never, ever give up.
There really is no substitute for persistence. We all face challenges both great and small. The key to reaching your goals – personal, professional, financial – is to stay the course come what may.
